Abstract

The use of soft power through global celebrities allows countries to leverage the influence of famous figures to introduce themselves to the international community, as Dua Lipa did in promoting Kosovo to the international community. This study aims to describe Dua Lipa's role as a cultural diplomacy agent in Kosovo's nation branding efforts on the international stage. Using celebrity diplomacy theory, the study examines how Dua Lipa, as one of the global music icons, leverages her international influence to promote a positive image of Kosovo. A qualitative descriptive approach with literature review was used, collecting sources from books, journals, and mainstream media. The findings reveal that Dua Lipa's involvement in initiatives such as the Sunny Hill Festival has significantly contributed to shaping Kosovo's global nation branding, attracting international tourists, and influencing policy changes such as the liberalization of Kosovo's visa policy for visits to European countries.

Abstract

Paradiplomacy, the international activities of sub-national governments, has become increasingly relevant in environmental governance and sustainable tourism, particularly within decentralized political systems. Indonesia's regional autonomy has enabled provinces such as East Kalimantan to build cross-border partnerships, environmental cooperation frameworks, and tourism promotion networks that transcend national diplomatic channels. Derawan Island, one of Indonesia's most renowned marine tourism destinations, is facing increasing pressures from mass tourism, coral degradation, inadequate waste management, and socio-economic transformation. This article examines how East Kalimantan Province employs paradiplomacy as a strategy to promote sustainable tourism development on Derawan Island. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of regional policies, provincial cooperation initiatives, institutional arrangements, and global environmental partnerships, this paper argues that paradiplomacy has emerged as a tool for capacity building, green tourism innovation, and adaptive environmental governance. Yet, structural challenges, including fragmented authorities, limited local capacity, asymmetrical relations with foreign partners, and weak ecological enforcement, continue to undermine progress. This research contributes to the discourse on subnational diplomacy in maritime Southeast Asia and provides recommendations for enhancing East Kalimantan's international engagement to support sustainable island tourism.
